A brilliant example of what Lewis Goodall talks about when he argues why right-wing radicals keep winning. They don't play by the rules and simply don't care. Whereas the institutions they want to destroy do even when said rules are contorted to absurdity and are blatantly being used against them.
The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

We have to see Trump's legal threat to the BBC in the context of his repeated lawsuits against US media including CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times and many more.
He uses the law to intimidate the media into being less critical of him – and sometimes manages to get payouts from fearful bosses.

I would genuinely like to understand the reasons for this constant capitulation. Do the Right have some real power and leverage that make them unbeatable, or do politicians on the centre-left just not want to engage in battle?

1945 the British made sure that Germanys public broadcasting system would never be taken over by an authoritarian leader again by creating a complicated federal system.
They didn’t see to that at home which has left the BBC vulnerable.
This needs to change now.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
